I'm not holding out much hope of a reply. Even less hope of hearing a convincing argument as to why this is the only place that suitable gravel can be found. If this is the case, it strengthens the argument for not removing it, as if its removed, then presumably there's none left anywhere. Doesn't sound too likely.

It's difficult to moderate the language for an inveterate profanitist such as myself. It would be nice to cheese them off, but will it do any good? (I played safe and stayed polite)

All we can do is keep plugging at em. The long term strategy will win against short term business needs.

The online petition is up to 316. The offline petition is at something like 600. In the local comunities something like 95% of the households have signed. I know that this is not on it's own going to save the henges but it's starting to get scary numbers for the politicians. In the last week, something like 100 people asked to join Friends of Thornborough.

These are not our only activities I've started trying to write a Thornborough comic strip, a manga style expose of corruption of evil that shows a continuity of practice that extends over 4,000 years! If only I could illustrate. Still, I'm sure we will have someone in our ranks who can lend a hand.

The way I look at it is this - In the last two months, some 1,000 plus people have taken a personal interst in these monuments, on top of that, around 10,000 people have not just heard of them for the first time, they have heard of them a few times. Arouind 600 households have had a door step visit by a representative of Friends of Thornborough who has explained the situation in detail. Think about what we can achieve in the next two months!

In three month's time we will have a national TV programme on the henges.

By my reckoning that gives me six months to turn these into cult status items. One way or another I intend to do this.

Failure is not an option.
